Liverpool fans plan walkout over ticket prices

LONDON, February 4 – Liverpool fans have been urged to walk out of Anfield during Saturday’s match against Sunderland in protest at their club’s new ticket prices.

The Spion Kop 1906 supporters group has asked fans to show their unhappiness in the 77th minute of the Premier League fixture.

The new pricing structure will also see the cost of the most expensive season ticket price rise to Sh153,253.11 (£1,029), with the lowest costing Sh128,832.14 (£685).
